So one of the major things Catholics seem to really "enjoy" (for lack of a better term) is also a 'man-made' idea basically

In response to this I would also add that it seems that you are suggesting that the only "real" or "true" religion would be one in which God Himself came down and created. That way there would be no question as to how things should be done, etc.
So, I would say that Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom of heaven, and told him that whatever he should bind on earth would be bound in heaven, and whatever he should loose on earth would be loosed in heaven. Jesus also stated the "you are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church." Catholics interpret this to mean that the church as instituted by Christ through Peter is not man-made at all, but divinely inspired through Christ's will.
